Yes I am

Just wanted to say thank you. I found out that today I passed with my third attempt

I just found out that I failed the nclex with my second attempt. I am so devastated. The worst part is that I've been an LPN since 2009 so I have the skills and knowledge. I had no problem in my nursing program, and had a high GPA. I've never failed a test in my life and an starting to question myself if nursing is the field for me. I am working as a graduate nurse in the hospital where I preceptored and am worried now that everyone at work will think I'm dumb, as I'll loose my license if I fail again. I have been studying as much as I can with two little children. All I do is study, work, look after my children. To top it off my son was diagnosed with autism (he's almost 6) a month ago. I keep pushing myself to study but I feel as though I am going to have a mental breakdown. I don't even want to tell my family I failed again. I am so embarassed. I really feel I need too focus on my daughter and my son.I really don't know if I should just put my Rn dream on hold, find a job as a LPN and try again in a year?
